Chapter 3518 Anxiety

Because she was worried that the farmers would be too hungry and eat the seeds, Yun Dai asked the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate funds to buy grain from Dazhou and distribute it to the people to ensure that they would not go hungry.

In this way, the money is spent like running water.

Xiao Ran is in charge of money and food in the household department. He holds the account book every day and chases Yun Dai's crying report, saying that if this continues, the treasury will be empty again.

Without money and food, she, the Minister of Household Affairs, would have nothing to do.

Although she said something vulgar, it was true.

The court did not collect taxes or grain.

The national treasury and local granaries were empty, and it was difficult for a clever woman like her to make a living without rice.

Since ancient times, how can an emperor only go out but not enter, sitting on his back?

Many officials received a salary of Shimei this month, but they were worried that the court would not be able to pay them next month.

Fortunately, after these few months, the season for receiving goods is finally approaching.

The winter in Northern Qi was so cold that crops could not grow, so they relied on the autumn harvest every year.

Throughout the winter, the people of Northern Qi had to live on this batch of food.

In previous years when taxes were strict, many people paid taxes without even a grain of rice left on hand. They were busy all year long, but during the Chinese New Year, their families could only eat coarse grains, wotou and wild vegetables.

Yun Dai didn't want to see the people under her governance live such a hard life.

Therefore, she attaches great importance to the grain yield of this autumn harvest.

Although Han Yu has always said that there is no need to worry, today's Northern Qi is different from the past. The number of men has dropped sharply. In many farmers' families, women work in the fields and grow food.

Of course Yun Dai does not discriminate against women, but the fact is that in the past years, men were responsible for most of the farming tasks. Women were busy with chores in the house and were not good at farming.

She believed that if women were given enough time, they would do a better job than men.

However, Beiqi was too poor, and time did not allow them too many opportunities to try and make mistakes.

Once there is a food shortage during this autumn harvest, it will be a terrible thing in the long winter to come.

Zhao Yuanjing felt that Yun Dai's insomnia was not only due to worry about Qian'er and missing her hometown, but also related to stress.

She was a little anxious.

In the past, she could do whatever she wanted without any responsibility.

But now, she has become the queen, responsible for the life and death of tens of millions of Northern Qi people. Every day she opens her eyes, money, money, money, money, money, money. Although she looks normal, the pressure and anxiety in her heart are slowly accumulating.

It wasn't until Qian'er's birth that it became the trigger that made her unable to sleep at all.

Zhao Yuanjing felt heartbroken when he looked at the cyan color in her eyes and her wide eyes.

"Diel, I will be by your side in everything, I will support you, you don't have to worry about anything. How happy and carefree did you live in Dazhou in the past? You are still like that now."

Yun Dai smiled and said: "I only know now how tired, difficult, and helpless you were when you were the emperor. There are some things that you really can't empathize with unless it happens to you."

"I promise, this autumn harvest will be a bumper harvest."

"real?"

"Definitely." Zhao Yuanjing lowered his head and kissed her, "If the harvest is good and the people of Northern Qi have food to survive the winter, I will accompany you back to Kyoto to see your mother and Qian'er and the others."

"Okay." Yun Dai leaned her face in his arms, hugged his waist with her hands, and closed her eyes.

A month later, autumn has completely entered Northern Qi, and farmland in various places has begun to be harvested.

In order to avoid Yun Dai's anxiety, Zhao Yuanjing took Yun Dai to play these days, climbing mountains and wading in rivers during the day, and pulling her around at night. She was so tired that she had no energy to think about anything else, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
